Google doodles Keith Haring's 54th birthday

New Delhi: Today, Google has replaced its usual homepage logo with a new artistic logo to commemorate the 54th birth anniversary of Keith Haring. The doodle uses normal Google colours - blue, red, yellow and green, but it has been created in a way, which looks pleasing and makes the viewer feel energised in the first look.

If you notice, you will find that the doodle features a bunch of people dancing and celebrating. And every element in this doodle has something to express. The first 'O' in the Google doodle looks like a superman, who is trying to fly high. The dance moves in the doodle can make you think - for a moment - that these hippies have gathered to dance in someone's birthday party. Oh! Keith Haring's 54th birthday.

Between 1980 and 1989, Haring achieved recognition at international level and took part in numerous exhibitions. Throughout his career, he devoted a lot of time to public works, which often carried social messages.

In 1988, Haring was diagnosed with AIDS. In 1989, he established the Keith Haring Foundation with a view to provide funding and imagery to AIDS organisations and children's programs, and also to expand the audience for his work through expositions.
